Caulk is your home’s first line of defense against water damage and drafts. Here’s how to maintain it:
🔍 Check These Areas First
- Frequency: Inspect your caulking every 6 months to ensure it’s still providing a good seal, especially around windows, doors, and bathrooms.
- Windows and door frames
- Baseboards and crown molding
- Bathrooms (around tubs and showers)
🖌️ DIY Caulking Tips
- Remove old caulk with a utility knife.
- Clean the surface with rubbing alcohol to ensure a good bond.
- Apply a smooth, even bead of new caulk using a caulk gun.
- Use a wet finger or tool to smooth it out before it dries.
